Raman Optical Activity combined with Circularly Polarized Luminescence (ROA-CPL) was used in the spectral recognition of glutathione peptide (GSH) and its model post-translational modifications (PTMs). We demonstrate the potential of ROA spectroscopy and CPL probes (EuCl, Na[Eu(DPA)], NaEuEDTA) in the study of unmodified peptide, i.e. GSH, and its derivatives, i.e. glutathione oxidized (GSSG), S-acetylglutathione (GSAc) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). ROA spectral features of GSH, GSSG, and GSAc were determined along with thier changes upon the different pH conditions. Apart from the ROA, induced CPL signals of Eu(III) probes also proved to be sensitive to the structural modifications of GSH-based model PTMs, enabling their spectral recognition, especially by the NaEuEDTA probe.

There are significant social and structural barriers to integrated delivery of PrEP and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), limiting women's ability to access these life-saving interventions. In a two parallel-arm randomized controlled trial, we are assessing an innovative eHealth delivery model that integrates PrEP with MOUD and is tailored to meet the specific needs of women involved in the criminal legal system.

Modification of silica interfaces by covalent attachment of functional ligands is a primary means of controlling the interfacial chemistry of porous silicas used in separations, environmental cleanup, and biosensing. Recently, modification of hydrophobic, -alkyl-silane-functionalized interfaces has been achieved through self-assembly of zwitterionic phospholipids or mixed-charged surfactants to form "hybrid bilayers", producing interfaces that mimic lipid-bilayer partitioning and provide shape-selective partitioning of aromatic hydrocarbons. Charged headgroups, however, introduce electrostatic interactions that strongly influence the retention of ionizable solutes and require careful control over pH and ionic strength in the solution phase.
